CHEE SOON JUAN WRITES TO PM LEE TO CALL FOR A BY-ELECTION

Singapore Democratic Party's Chee Soon Juan has written to PM Lee to call for a By-Election for Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC in light of Mdm Halimah Yacob's resignation.

He asked if PM Lee agrees with Mr Chan Chun Sing for previously saying that there will not be a By-Election: "As Prime Minister, we wish to hear from you if Mr Chan's statement is indeed your own position."

Dr Chee asked PM Lee to reply him by 16 Aug 2017. If he does not receive a response, he will assume that PM Lee is not in favour of having a BE and will "proceed to take the necessary steps to rectify the situation".
